The Minnesota Vikings will start second-year quarterback Jaren Hall in their final preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, as coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that regulars, including starter Sam Darnold, will be rested. Hall, who has performed well in previous games, is competing for a depth position following the season-ending injury to rookie J.J. McCarthy, who underwent surgery for a torn meniscus. Matt Corral, recently acquired, is expected to see playing time after Hall. The Vikings also signed former Gophers running back Mo Ibrahim to bolster their roster amid injuries. Notably, standout special teamer NaJee Thompson has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. The team is preparing for the roster cut down to 53 players in the coming days.
